Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen cherries, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cherries are heated through and the mixture has thickened into a syrupy sauce. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Once done, remove from the heat and let it cool completely.
Step 2: To assemble the basic overnight oats, combine oats with milk or yogurt in a large bowl or glass jar. Stir well, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Step 3: In the morning, spoon your creamy overnight oats into a bowl or keep them in your desired container and generously drizzle the cherry compote on top.
Tips:
- Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or even a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess!
- Use honey instead of maple syrup.
